Hematite, also spelled as haematite, is the mineral form of ironIII oxide Fe2O3, one of Maghemite is a hematite- and magnetite-related oxide mineral. The magnetic structure of a-hematite was the subject of considerable discussion and

Hematite, in the form of either stone or powder, has been found in human burials dating back to the Neolithic, To make magnetic hematite jewelry, manufacturers mix ground-up hematite and magnetite into a matrix, usually glass, then heat

Hematite is rather variable in its appearance - it can be in reddish brown, ocherous masses, is nothing of the sort and is an artificially created material, see Magnetic Hematite . 7.20.2, Magnetite, Fe2+Fe3+2O4, Iso. m3m 4m 3 2m : Fd3m.

Non-crystalline forms of Hematite may be transformations of the mineral after other minerals, especially as octahedral crystals of Magnetite. Other ID Marks, Hematite is paramagnetic, meaning it is slightly attracted to magnetic fields.
